A French company has raised €4 million to produce fruit and vegetables that are 100% free from pesticides, that are not Genetically Modified and that have zero food miles.
Their aim is to allow city dwellers to eat better than their parents by producing fresh food and vegetables in the heart of French cities.
They propose to install hydroponic containers in major French city centres.
A prototype container was used last year in Paris to produce strawberries and helped by 120 bumble bees which pollinated the plants, fresh strawberries were soon available to Parisians!.
The concept will be rolled out this year to many French cities with the long term goal of franchising the containers so that people can set up a container in their local city centre and sell the produce locally.
